We set out to plant our garden last weekend. We fortified ourselves with Steve's homemade pancakes and dined on them al fresco.
Then off to Home Depot where Dan introduced Cole to some pretty big power tools.
Addie was very serious about being a big part of the planting process.
Cole just liked playing in the dirt.
Since last summer the very beautiful (but very hungry) deer ate any and all vegetables that came up in the garden, this year Steve designed a big ol' fence to surround the plot.
The finished product!
In other summer fun, Addie has been loving the sundresses because they make her feel QUITE fancy
Addie and Cole continue to have a love and scuffle (not hate) relationship. The scuffling is pretty minimal and really only involves the sharing of toys.
Cole has been very serious about his artwork lately. Masterpiece #137. Artist: Cole Robert Silvestro. Title: Recycling Shmecycling. Media: Cardboard. Style: Neoimpressionism. Pants: optional.
Speaking of pants, we went over to Addie's schoolmate Emery's house for a swimming playdate. Having come unprepared, Addie got to borrow some of Emery's duds. Cole just went in a t- and diaper combo.
NOT PICTURED: the point when we realized that ALL of the kids were naked, the only stitch of clothing on the collection of them was Cole's diaper. There was quite the anatomy lesson that day.
And in big news, Cole had his first Popsicle last night. We couldn't do anything to convince him to hold it by the stick, whenever we tried to show him, he got mad, thinking we were going to take away his preciousssssss.
Loving the summer so far :)

This totally made my day. Love the "pants optional" part of Cole's masterpiece and that the popsicle is his "precious." Also love Addie's fancy pose in her dress. The garden is wonderful!! Makes me miss the heat of DC summers!
